Ashley’s quilt

6 hour crib quilt

My co-worker is expecting her first child. I don’t make a quilt for every baby shower I go to, but I knew she’d appreciate it and wanted to do something special for her and her little girl. I started the recon early to figure out what she was planning for her nursery. I lucked out […]

Sewing room disaster

Finished quilts of 2011

There was a baby boom among my friends and family this year, so 2011, was the year of the baby quilt and stash busting. There was the alphabet baby quilt for my friend Shelly’s first child. We know each other from book club, so I thought this panel that I already had in my stash […]

Is there such a thing as too much fabric?

Today is my birthday and my sister got me the lovely sign above. She understands my quilting addiction. My husband, however, doesn’t get it.
